I’ll try to make a point to check in on this chat room at least once a day. I’m still behind on the stuff I want to do for ELL since I’ve been pretty busy, especially the last week or two, but this site is important to me and I want to help :-)

Thanks snailcar, everything is great here. M.A.R. taught me that I can be an "absolutist" sometimes. I am waiting to use that word, looking forward to a fight with my buddies.

@snailcar Oh, sorry ))

But despite the fact that there are outstanding computer games like Z and many, many others, I consider the time spent on gaming the most uselessly spent time in my life. I would rank it below almost any activity imaginable.
Reading is more useful. Playing any sports is more useful. Idle chat is more useful. Trying to learn how to use Windows Forms in Visual Studio is more useful.
And all this in spite of the fact that in our time the real art lives on in games, and the so called "modern art" in galleries is just an investment vehicle.

What’s Z?
A computer game I love because each level is played in a very short time.
I think it's a masterpiece.
Z (pronounced "zed") is a 1996 real-time strategy computer game by The Bitmap Brothers. It is about two armies of robots (red and blue) battling to conquer different planets. A sequel, Z: Steel Soldiers, was published in 2001. == Plot == The game opens with Commander Zod shooting the Bitmap Brothers Logo off the screen. Meanwhile, a Supply Ship is adrift in space. Its occupants, two robots named Brad and Allan, wake up to the radio buzzer. The two find two new messages from Commander Zod. The first shows Zod telling about his delivery, one hour overdue; the second shows him threatening to "kick...
It oddly associates in my mind with M, which is also a masterpiece, but it's a movie from 1931.

@CowperKettle Ew, Windows Forms.
I'm on page 423 of "Beginning OOP programming with C#" and there's a lot of forms.
Page four hundred and twenty-three... Good job.
You should make your own programs and examples until you're comfortable with it, like writing out lines of algebra-level math.

woah non-stop rain all day long

Hahahahahahahahaha
We have non-stop snow all day long, the roads are clogged with struggling cars
I've just returned from a 16-km jog
I ran to the downtown and back
How paraphrase this sentence:
"Nothing short of a revolution is called for, and it’s already on its way"
Can I say:
A revolution needs to be done and it is already on its way.

@CowperKettle thanks.

Word of the day: curling iron
@userr2684291 I am trying, but I seem to have a poor attention span and concentration. But I'm trying.

@CowperKettle Yeah, programming is all about details. You're programming the computer to do something, and it requires precise instructions.
Everything means something: there are no extra words, and the computer doesn't assume anything – you have to tell it everything.
I've composed a verse about today's snowfall
It's best to get comfortable with small pieces before going to bigger programs. If you feel like you're learning a recipe, you're doing it wrong. For some things there is a recipe, but normally you just "express your thoughts" as you would in a natural language.
@CowperKettle I don't even want to jog when it is below 65 outside (fahrenheit = 18 celsius) Do you do this every day?
@EddieKal I go jogging until it hits minus 15°C
Below minus 15C it's uncomfortable to breathe
And I damaged my right eye with cold air in February, hence I'm trying to be careful and wear this mask
My cornea is transplanted so it's very sensitive, it seems, to all kinds of bad conditions
@CowperKettle Brave man!
Wish I had willpower like yours
@AIQ To be honest, that question was me trying to get confirmation/permission to ask a question about course language without having to censor
I am against censorship in general

16:01
Haha, a local news report. A guy was dog-sledding today in the center of Yekaterinburg
@EddieKal No willpower, there are hundreds of people here who jog far more than me))
This is from a Park Run.
It's an international movement in which people go for a 5-km collective jog each Saturday
Your results are recorded on the international website
All events are organized by volunteers
There are usually about 30 to 40 parkrunners here each Saturday
The maximum was just above 70

This picture reminds me of
Peer Gynt (, Norwegian: [ˈpeːr ˈɡʏnt]) is a five-act play in verse by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen published in 1867. Written in Danish—the common written language of Denmark and Norway in Ibsen's lifetime—it is one of the most widely performed Norwegian plays. Ibsen believed Per Gynt, the Norwegian fairy tale on which the play is loosely based, to be rooted in fact, and several of the characters are modelled after Ibsen's own family, notably his parents Knud Ibsen and Marichen Altenburg. He was also generally inspired by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen's collection of Norwegian fairy tales,...
@CowperKettle That reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of music...
Actually, I like most of that suite...
Our local Drama Theater had a great performance of Peer Gynt as a play.
They partly moved the action into the 1920s, judging by some parts of the play, but overall they kept it very close to the book.

@CowperKettle I’ve heard it’s a difficult play to stage because of all the surreal parts. I’ve only ever listened to the music.

I'm looking for books similar to this
https://www.amazon.com/Fluency-English-New-Concept/dp/058252332X/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=L+G+Alexander&qid=1576877371&sr=8-12
It contains short passages in a plethora of disciplines.
21:51
@CroCo That's basically an English textbook.
You can find these in any bookstore/library.

@EddieKal Oh yes I understood your question. I was referring to the answers there that stated to censor the words in the title at least. I just did it to be on the safe side in my answer. I have been here for only a while and did not want to piss anyone off. :)
Why are people fighting and being rude ... I don't like this
